Neat little episode.... tons of goodies.
And one you all forgot to mention... Jon doesn't know it either... Little finger
Spoiler tags? ok... why not?
Jon meets Sansa - Finally, something good happens to some of the Starks! The reunion commences.
Seems I wasn't far off, last week - time to get rid of the Boltons is nigh. I wonder how the red priestess and Davos will fit into this...
From the books,
there was an extra party involved with Stanis - the Bank of Braavos, represented by a fellow in a tall hat... that bank featured a few seasons ago... the army is dead... how will they get their money back? Will the banker ever show up in the show? Or will everyone just forget that?
Brienne remembers how the red woman helped kill her Renly... Interesting power play to be had here...
Petyr Littlefinger - manipulating the "lord of the vale" in front of all the lords... and they just do what he wants. Amazing! Still, it seems to play into the grand scheme of things. I'll guess that Petyr still wants to end up with Sansa by his side, and, at least, warden of the North.
Tyrion, Missandei and Greyworm vs the slavers - Tyrion at his best, negotiating... buying time. I have no idea where the number for 7 years came from. I can only guess it's long enough for Dany to return and use the dragons, while seeming reasonable to the slavers... a reasonable time for them to get rid of Daenerys, that is...
They did like it when Tyrion said that he was raised richer than any of them, in a culture without slavery...
At the end, Greyworm didn't look too happy with the arrangement, though...
Jorah vs Daario - Jorah's the old man, alright.... also diseased....
Margaery - Damn, that woman is tough! Tougher than her brother.... another deviation from the books...
her brother should have been broken from battle at Dragonstone, IIRC...
Meanwhile, the High Sparrow is after what everyone is after in that business - power. (clearly, not wealth)
The red keep - The decision to take care of these faith militant is finally made! Now to see it unfold... "and if it doesn't go according to plan?"... it's almost like that's whats going to happen....
Theon - he's home.... his sister is a tad angry... understandable... But he wants to help her? LOL
Bolton and Asha - First, that knife needs some help... or he just doesn't know how to use it on an apple! Loved his smile when she tells him she's seen worse...
Hmmm... how did Theon know that she helped the Stark children escape?... I don't remember that detail. Still... one less character to worry about.... just as she was almost dispatching Ramsay... How many have come close to killing Ramsay, now, but failed?
Tormund and Brienne! that's all I'll say!
Ramsay does know how to provoke an attack. His got balls... he's got the numbers... But I don't think he's counting on the assistance from the Vale... which will, as is customary in the cinematic realm, come at the last possible minute.... last episode, maybe?
Daenerys - the unburnt... that should mean something. Why do people with superpowers tend to forget them in the stories where they're placed? I'm almost sure she could have burned everything to the ground much much sooner.
Also... bewbs... yeah, stand there still so it doesn't take much to photoshop your face on that body-double
I don't play the game of favorite episode.... they're all required to tell the whole story.
I found book 4, A Feast For Crows, to be terribly dull, but it was required... to tell the story.
